Pope Francis names Washington Archbishop Wilton Gregory first African American cardinal

[Dr_Meinheimer]

Selling it does. There is still the sin of detraction. Do you want all your sins to be constantly brought up after God has forgiven you? Remember that we will be judged and forgiven according to the measure we forgive others.

Would that this mentality applied to our political leaders. Some of them cannot seem to redeem themselves in the eyes of posters around here. Mistakes made 15 or 20 years ago get brought up constantly.

And don’t forget McCarrick was appointed by Saint John Paul II

But you can’t say that was a mistake. We are not competent to judge appointments by Popes.

Would that this mentality applied to our political leaders.

The sin of detraction is revealing another person’s real faults to a third person without a valid reason. If we were voting on who were Cardinals, then we might need to know the past.

Again, this building a 2 million home was not a crime, or illegal, but a error in judgement. It is just another version of buy a Mercedes instead of a used Ford Escort. Other bishops have made this same error, trying to mirror how company executives live instead of servants of God.
